Posts: 32880 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We hit the water this morning in 20 MPH to 25 MPH gusts of wind from the East coupled with intermittent rain. The fish were not really going, but we managed to move 7, put one in the Frabill, and see a REALLY good fish we hope to get pinned up this weekend yet. That fish slammed a Weagle and somehow avoided all those hooks. Water temps were upper 50's and the fish were in 2' in the slop. Violent Strike Willow Magnums had action, as did a Top Raider and Weagle. At dark we retired to the Hideout main kitchen where we made a BIG venison and potato, fresh garden tomato, and fixins dinner. TJ joins us tomorrow in the continuing quest for Muskie Rhinelander style.

Posts: 32880 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | TJ took Mark and Magruter over to Spider this morning, chasing muskies and to enjoy the atmosphere, this is a neat lake in the Fall when no one is on the water. They had the lake to themselves, moved a few muskies, and boated a 35. They moved to Pelican and talked me in to a few hours out there, too. This was weird: the weather came in from the EAST... that's near impossible, but it did, off the back of a weird low pressure system in Michigan. The muskies on the East end were active, on the west end they were not, just a 3 mile difference. We had RAIN like buckets, so hard you couldn't see, and hail, lightning, and wind that blew almost all directions. I'll let TJ tell the story of woe he and Mark had, I had a close encounter with a 40ish fish on a Weagle on the ......7th or 8th figure 8, she sort of ate the thing and shook it anyway. Had another leap over the bait befre the storm, and after, it was over. Tomorrow we try the Moen again, I have an appointment with a big girl and a Weagle...

Posts: 32880 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We hit it again this morning, Mark with me and Magruter with TJ. The wind was 15 or more from the NW, so we went to Moen wishing we had good weather and winds for Pelican after all the fish TJ and Mark moved there last night before the storms. Moonrise was 9 AM, and the fish moved some for about an hour right on schedule. We saw 4, lost one and got one in the low forties, all in all a great trip. Magruter, you WILL get that big girl up here, just come on back up the the Hideout anytime, and drag Mark along! Mark is one heck of a net man, stabbing that muskie just before she blasted off on another run, BOOM, in the Frabill! Thanks to TJ for filling in for Slamr on short notice.
